This topic is about someone who has a new ileostomy and accidentally swallowed a whole cough drop. They are worried about whether this could cause a blockage.

Here are some comforting insights and advice shared by others:

1. Many people have reassured that a cough drop will dissolve quickly in the stomach acid and is unlikely to cause any blockage in an ileostomy.

2. It's important to remember that swallowing hard candies whole can be a choking hazard. However, once swallowed, it poses little risk to the stoma.

3. Some light-hearted comments mention that even swallowed gum eventually passes without any issues, highlighting the minimal risk from a cough drop.
